FTVV helps decrease potential risk of exposure and will provide a convenient alternative for families traveling long distances to visit their doctor. Patients and their parents can connect with their doctors via video software to conduct follow-up visits and discuss treatment plans.

This will not replace all in-person visits, as there will continue to be circumstances that require a physical in-person visit. Our Patient Access Personnel will evaluate if a FTVV is appropriate for each child based on medical criteria.
